State Police Commercial Crime unit chief Supt Sum Chang Keong said the 47-year-old victim from Tengkera had met four African men last month who claimed they could make him richer. “The suspects promised the victim that they could increase his fortune. They asked him for US$185,000 (RM592,029) which could be increased to US$47mil (RM150mil),” Supt Sum said. He said the victim agreed to follow the men to a rented house in Tengkera for a demonstration where some money was placed in a safe before they performed a ritual. “After some chanting and a small explosion, the safe was opened to reveal more money inside,” he said. Convinced by what he saw, the businessman handed the sum of money requested and one kg of assorted gold jewellery to the men. The businessman realised he had been duped after a month had passed without him receiving any word from the men. He lodged a police report on March 6. Supt Sum said police raided a house in Tengkera on March 8 at 1am and detained two of the suspects. He said police have remanded both suspects for 14 days and are looking for the two remaining suspects. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property.
